What pastry is used for Chicken Bosnian Borek?

What goes inside Chicken Bosnian Borek?
Chicken Bosnian Borek usually contains cooked, shredded chicken seasoned with salt and pepper, often with onion. Some recipes add herbs, but cheese is not essential and the exact filling varies between cooks.
How do you make Chicken Bosnian Borek?

How is Chicken Bosnian Borek traditionally served?
Chicken Bosnian Borek is usually served warm, cut into portions, as a main dish or a substantial snack. Plain yogurt, a fresh salad, or a tangy yogurt drink makes a simple accompaniment.
Can you make Chicken Bosnian Borek ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble Chicken Bosnian Borek ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Keep the chicken filling chilled, and bake the pastry close to serving time for the crispest result.
How do you store leftover Chicken Bosnian Borek?
Store leftover Chicken Bosnian Borek in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Because it contains chicken, do not leave it sitting out; reheat portions until hot throughout before serving.
Can you freeze Chicken Bosnian Borek?
